2:6He14 will reward15 each one according to his works:162:7eternal life to those who by perseverance in good works seek glory and honor and immortality, 2:8but17 wrath and anger to those who live in selfish ambition18 and do not obey the truth but follow19 unrighteousness.
Footnotes
- 14 Grk “who.” The relative pronoun was converted to a personal pronoun and, because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
- 15 Or “will render,” “will recompense.” In this context Paul is setting up a hypothetical situation, not stating that salvation is by works.
- 16 A quotation from Ps 62:12; Prov 24:12; a close approximation to Matt 16:27.
- 17 This contrast is clearer and stronger in Greek than can be easily expressed in English.
- 18 Grk “those who [are] from selfish ambition.”
- 19 Grk “are persuaded by, obey.”

He will judge everyone according to what they have done. He will give eternal life to those who keep on doing good, seeking after the glory and honor and immortality that God offers.
